For the first time In over ten days, the pnatoffloe clerks of Macon quit work last night at • o’clock. During the Christmas rush, they were obliged to stay at the office until ten ami twelve o'clock at night In order to finish up their business, nml distribute through the various chan nels tho hundreds of packages of mall, letters and packages, that they had re ceived during the day. Postmaster Kdwnids states that the business done by the poetofflce. all de partments Included, wus about the same ns that of last year. While the figures are not yet obtainable. It la not believed that the stamp sale was any larger nor the money order business quite so heavy. The rvglstry window, although unusually busy at all times, did not handle as many packages as last year. Neither were there as many letters mailed. The Incoming business exceeded by far the outgoing. That Is, there were more letters, packages and money orders re ceived here than were aeut away. This Is particularly true of the registry de partment. which distributed almost twice as many packages ns It did last Christ mas season. This Is accounted for In a measure by the fact Hurt many Macon cltlsens went elsewhere to engage In business whan prohibition became oper ative. and they, of course, remembered their friends and relatives here. Anyway, U* postofflce clerks are cer tain that they had a plenty to do. wheth er the business was larger or omsller. and one of them doubtless expressed the consensus of opinion when hs said: "I’d quit If Christmas came twice a year."

Heretofore tho clerks have boarded the southbound trains at Macon and made a trip to Jacksonville and l’a- latha. Now they will start with the trgln at Atlanta and continue on through to Florida. The change was brought about, tt Is said, by complaints that the clerks did not have sufficient time In which to pre pare tho mall for distribution after boarding the train in Macon.
